Nate Landman Signs One-Year Deal with Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams have signed linebacker Nate Landman to a one-year contract following his departure from the Atlanta Falcons, where he had a successful three-season tenure. Landman, an undrafted free agent out of Colorado, recorded 192 total tackles, two sacks, and six forced fumbles during his time in Atlanta, peaking in 2023 with 110 tackles and starting 14 games. His decision to join the Rams was influenced by his West Coast roots and a relationship with Rams assistant coach Jimmy Lake, who previously worked with him in Atlanta. With the Rams facing a thin linebacker group, Landman is expected to compete for a starting role against other players like Omar Speights and Tony Fields. The signing comes as the Falcons opted not to tender Landman, allowing him to seek new opportunities. The Rams are optimistic that Landman's experience and potential will bolster their defense.
